@dcontroversal I have asked whether you love me, as I love you Biblically.
Love and truth go hand in hand......and it is an easy thing to say ONE LOVES SOMEONE biblically.....I love you enough to tell you that you are wrong....Your view of sin not being covered, misapplication of Hebrews and peddling a very subtle for of faith plus works in some salvic type I disagree with......I have vehemently stood against some things you peddle....BUT I have not called you LAZY without KNOWING you personally!

Assumption <--this is exactly what you and Preacher4Calvin do when you accuse us OF being lazy or saying we do not believe in attempting to live by the word of GOD!

James stated a fact

if you claim you have faith but have no works, can YOUR faith save you

james and I agree, no

mere belief never saved anyone

james did not contradict paul who said we were not saved by works of righteousness which we have done, but by gods mercy

you have failed to comprehend james, period
the fact James stated is faith without works is dead. you gotta gave works because without it you have no faith.

You in trouble now....I see the self righteous Calvin worshipper has chimed in again to support a falsie......I bet he stands in the pulpit boasting to his servants how righteous, holy and godly he is......
Oh hey, look...the Calvin worshipper mentioned me in a post......you finish carving an idol of Calvin yet to bow down to?
It’s amusing watching the simpletons who like and laugh at the lies of this mouthpiece when he posts. And he is all mouth. :)

Why do you ignore my love but engage in argument with another forum user?

Do you know how God's commandments can be summed up?

Do you Biblically love me, as I do you?
I have already replied to you. But I can keep this up all day. I don't need you to summarise the bible.

And?

so we should all preach faith plus works because Luther added the word alone?

lol

your funny man
adding to scripture is usually an act of desperation.

works people dont have to edit the scriptures to make their point, they just follow the example of Jesus. His example was works btw.

Let's put transgressions and offenses aside for now and just take a moment to embrace God's love to bring us back together.

I love you Biblically.
Do you love me Biblically?

The only good works that save us are the ones Jesus did.
If you are relying on your own good works you are doomed.
so we might as well get a hooker, bag of weed, and live the most debauched life we want because it doesnt matter?

Apologies, you've already said you love me?

I'm afraid I missed it. Could you show me where please?

You can't miss something that was not posted.
Well, even if you're not willing to say that you Biblically love me, for which you have your own reasons, I want you to know that I love you Biblically.

Be blessed :)

so its clear as long as we ignore things such as Luther changing the scriptures and leading a crusade against the book of James.
Stick with the hookers and weed you mentioned in your post above......you seem to understand that better than the word.....!!

ohh my mistake, so our works do matter?
If living a Christ-like life doesn't matter, does it not matter if one commits adultery, fornication, sex before marriage, etc etc.

These people want it both ways.

Obviously they do to you or you wouldn't have responded to the guy in citing a list of "works" that you knew he was not even soeaking to - like polar opposite. This is where this type of argument makes people shake their heads.

Could I encourage you to show more Christ-like love to your fellow brother.
